i don't remember much about anyone i went to high school with. the 10 year reunion would be next year technically (2006). although i left in 6th form, i didn't really know the people who finished school that year with me, and needless to say i didn't know well the people that graduated the year after me. haha, i'm a loser.
however i do have photos from an afternoon spent in san diego with felix and gwen.
at the stadium, petco park, we resorted to buying two bottle of beer at once and carrying it in to facilitate the watering.
by this point we were starting to get quite drunk
and here, well....

My highschool is having a 50 year celebration reunion this year. I left in 6th form, too; but most of the people were losers (including one or two that ended up in jail).
I left in sixth form too. The three of us must be the world's most overeducated high school dropouts ever. I got so much crap for leaving early - all the teachers said I would be a colossal failure.
Hey, whaddya know, I AM a colossal failure! Only I'm a colossal failure with a doctorate, heh.
I don't understand all this 6th form jibberish.
Seventh form was the last year of secondary school. I think there is a different system in place now.
Yeah, they made it so you couldn't scarper after sixth form any more. Too many people were doing it (like me, Xenia and Johnny!). The deal was that if you got good enough grades in sixth form, you could go to university without suffering the trials and torments of the seventh form, which was basically a giant waste of time.
I was kind of pissed on my first day of university when I got there and wasn't the youngest person in the class. Wretched Xenia and her "one month younger than thou" nonsense!!
Oh yeah, and you know what else the NZ educational system did? They abolished failure. They decided it hurt the poor wee tykes' feelings too much. So now if you fail, it's called "Not Achieved" and it doesn't appear on your grade report or any of your certificates, so officially you never failed anything.
Oh yeah, and they also abolished hard stuff, because it made the dumber kids' eardrums bleed too much. Now all you do at school is sit in circles talking about puppies and kittens and balloons and hugs and ice cream.
Miranda, why are you so bitter?
It's part of my timeless charm.
NZ sounds easier than school in WV.
